FWIW Grainger lists the bulbs at having a 3200-3700K rating.  BTW for the 250
and 400 watt ballast they have excellent prices.  Makes MH pretty reasonable if
you are handy at building things.  You can get parabolic reflectors off shop
lights for only a few dollars to direct the light.  A little time makes a lot
of light pretty cheap.
